hey ya'll, I currently have an i5 7500 cpu paired with a b250 gaming m3 mobo and a asus strix 980 ti.

I just bought another 8 gb of corsair vengeance lpx 2400 mhz ram, for a total of 16 gb, and a 2 tb hdd and 250 gb ssd, along with a aio cooler from cooler master (better than my stock intel cooler :D)

as well as thermaltake 650w psu :P

Is it worth it to upgrade my cpu? and if so, what should I upgrade to?

(i have no budget ill just save up for whatever I need)

thanks for the help :)

 

p.s 

Christmas is round the corner so suggestion asap would be very helpful :)

Not if your performance meets your standards

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

nothing is bottle necking, im just wondering if I should upgrade my cpu for future proofing, or better performance, the cpu is fine with what I have, jsut wondering if its worth an upgrade, cheers for the help though :)

then i'd recommend saving up for a new system and maybe repurposing some parts. but i think you'd be better of selling it as used and put that little extra towards some better parts

Don't future proof, only present proof
